Default Pinstripe Color - Thoughts?

So I've decided to go with pinstripes instead of 1/2 painting.
2018 Vivid Black Street Glide.
I am torn between Orange/Flux and Orange/White and now considering Blue/White, Thoughts?
And I swore I would never post in here looking for opinions.....but i'm losing sleep......lol
This is exhausting....lol

I think the Orange/Flux or Orange/White over the Blue/White. Depending on the shade of Blue, it might get lost in the black and be a little hard to see.

Go to your pinstriper and have him lay down some different colors and see them first hand. We did that on my bike, tried lime green, black, several tones of gray, and other colors before we decided on this shade of gray for the pinstripes on the scallops.

I've always thought that orange and black went well together. I'd lean more towards a burnt orange though. Blue and black would be my next choice. Again I would lean more towards a darker blue and like has already been said, it could get lost with the black. In that case I would think like a kobalt blue and a darker shade of silver would work well.

Cobalt/silver is sweet looking. I will look at that for sure.

Here are a lot of examples to get some ideas. He has done paintwork for me and he is a true artist - people ship bikes, etc. to him because he is so good, and reasonable: https://www.facebook.com/people/Palm...00005498087108

This is the Inferno color from my Tacoma, considering the gray that outlines the "TRD".
